Please take a quick moment to fill out the Rouge Park Survey and hype up the Rouge Park Mountain Bike Trail (that the SCA and the Motor City Mountain Bike Association have been working on for the past few years). A very talented group of students and their professor from Lawrence Tech's design program have been doing a comprehensive asset mapping of the park and are putting together a grand vision for the future of the park. I visited their office recently and was blown away by the amount of resources and thought going into this master plan and feel like it will be a great road map for the future of the park. They have created this very short survey to help guide their process and very unfortunately, the survey doesn't explicitly ask about the mountain bike trail (though it does mention trails).

Please fill out the survey and sharing your thoughts about the trail and trail expansion.

The Rouge Park Mountain Bike Trail is one of its kind in Detroit, offering a peaceful, wooded respite from the sounds (and roads) of the city, as it falls just below the ridge line along the river. The trail is also proving to be a compelling force for creating outdoor recreation opportunities for local youth. The trail, if expanded, will also prove to be a regional asset, connecting other area green ways and bike trails. For more information about the trail: http://www.facebook.com/RougeParkMountainBikeTrail

Please support the trail and any other visions you have for the city's largest park (and one of the largest city parks in the country!)

I tried to answer the survey honestly, saying that I'd never been there but am interested and that I have friends who go there. I quit when it failed weirdly and began asking me what time of day I go there.
